'The scale of deployed North Korean troops is being closely watched,' Yoon Yeocheol, South Korea's ambassador to the U.K., told Newsweek.
The South Korean government 'will never sit idle,' Seoul's ambassador to London has said, as the U.S. ally worries that North Korean troops deployed alongside Russian forces against Ukraine could accrue valuable combat experience far from the Korean Peninsula.
Although the war between North and South Korea never officially ended, an armistice has been in place on the peninsula since 1953.'We are concerned that North Korea will accumulate combat experience, secure actual operational data for its weaponry, acquire funding for nuclear and missile development through Russia's economic support, and potentially receive assistance from Russia to advance military technology, as well as modernize its conventional weapons,' Yoon said.
